Kylian Mbappé World Cup 2026: Latest News
Mbappé arrives at the 2026 FIFA World Cup carrying 12 World Cup goals — already one of the highest totals in tournament history — chasing the all-time record held by Miroslav Klose with 16 goals.
France coach Didier Deschamps has assembled an extraordinarily talented forward line around Mbappé, with Ousmane Dembélé — the current Ballon d’Or winner — alongside him. Rayan Cherki of Manchester City, Michael Olise of Bayern Munich and Marcus Thuram of Inter Milan provide remarkable squad depth that no other nation at the tournament can match.
This will be Deschamps’ final tournament as France coach after guiding Les Bleus to World Cup glory in 2018. Mbappé, now back to top form at Real Madrid after a difficult 2025-26 club season, is the player most likely to deliver a third World Cup title for France.
France are in Group D alongside the United States, Uruguay and Australia — a very winnable path to the knockout rounds where Mbappé is fully expected to take centre stage and challenge for the Golden Boot he won in 2022 with 8 goals.
